As I recall, the buffalo were gone for quite some time and had been replaced by cows, no?
Since the day I asked my R/E agent about the buffalo - and he told me about the whole tax-dodge concept - I knew they were nothing more than a place holder until the developer decided to do what he does best - develop.
If you liked looking at the tree in my lawn, or the car in my driveway, or my statue on the lawn (heaven forbid), would I be in any way obliged to discuss the trimming of the tree or moving the car or painting the statue with you before I did?
Maybe it's me, but it was undeveloped land sitting in the middle of a huge sprawling development holding a few cows while it waited its turn. It belongs to the developer, and he didn't masquerade anything about it, it was going to be developed, either into a commercial or residential complex. Now you think he owed you the courtesy of telling you what he was developing there? I truly don't get it.
What do you think is going to happen to the land between CVS and WalMart along 466 where a few cows graze? Do you seriously think it's going to remain a cow pasture? Did anyone feel offended that some of it became the Bone Fish Grill, or CVS, or Beall's without letting all of us know? I don't get it!
